Leave this country?? I’m paying money for every Government exams which some of them no need…

I’m paying money for every Government exams which some of them no need to pay, what is the equality here?? That’s why I never want to write any Government exams.

Though we scored 99%, the eligible cut-off for us is set to 99.99%, on the other hand, some of them can qualify with 40%, less than 40%.

The man who suggested this ideology of reservation had planned to execute this for 30 years alone!! But this stupid Government BJP,Congress and everybody uses this to get power. After facing all these, we are just keeping our mouth shut, and try to do something to survive in life, yet you guys keep mocking us with some stupid tags as I mentioned above, don’t you think this is similar to the crime that you say on us??

**tha ena than da panarsolreenga engala?? I NEVER ASKED PPL TO WHICH CASTE DO THEY BELONG, BUT PPL ALWAYS POINTED OUT MY CASTE NAME…!!!

Even with the new generation within the first 10 intro questions, they will ask for caste.

I never asked other’s caste. Its an offense to use caste name and speak bad about that, but some beepholes like Veeramani, Daniel Gandhi do this often, yet we remain silent.

Remember guys those who are in my friend list and reading this blog, with the mindset of the above hashtag(SmashBrahmin) better GETLOST from my friend list, I just don’t need such friendship.

That was a joke okay ! The day was good and started scrolling twitter newsfeed, found an article written in “Washington post” with the tile ‘DEPORT’: Racist campaign mailers target Asian school board candidates. The curiosity animal inside me clicked the click and two images got my attention.

Front

Back

You guessed it right. This was sent to residents in Edison and the postcard declares “Make Edison Great Again” and “Chinese school! Indian school! Cricket fields! Enough is Enough!” sounds like DT’s election campaign slogans, and American’s please don’t visit Australia in summer, because their National sport is Cricket.

The sad part is such idiots live in great Country(they say, not me) too. All Asians should take a oath ‘occupy America or come lets make Europe getter again’. The people responsible for racist postcard can not make America great again, but will make America racist again!

]]>How to save money? The biggest question in all our mind. The money we earn is not sufficient to fulfil our needs. Our need increases when we earn more. The demand never meets the supply in our life. So how to save more many with the salary we earn? The main topic that I discuss with my dad is always about saving money, I know there are many in the case because we need their expertise in saving money. But when I speak about it, the conclusion will be around inflation.

What is inflation?

In simple too many goods chase too few money. Example, I planned to buy a home at the age of 24 in a tier II city which cost around 50lakhs. But when I looked at the amount I have including loan, savings etc is 40 lakh. There is a deficit of 10 lakh. Now at the age of 25 I planned to buy a home in the same locality, I have 50 lakhs in hand and the rate of a house is 62 lakhs. This is the gap I still can’t fix. When look at the other side, in the age gap of 2 years am able to save 10 lakh. How beat this inflation?

I believe in “everything has two sides”.If God exist, evil also exists. Male and female. Rich and Poor etc. So I will explain two theories to all, and the one which worked for me in saving money. And at last for people who don’t accept my theory there is always one thing for you that is the lenders (in this case assume lenders as people) last resort called the bank. I will also give some bank savings scheme to save money.

Theory One:-

I call this theory as 50 theory. Am not going to teach Mathematics here. I assume that you are a person who don’t have the habit of saving money. The theory is “spend 50% less than you earning, then it will only take you two years to save a year’s income. This is a huge amount really, do this for at least 5 months and you will thank me later. No one can save such money you fool, is that you think, am I right. Try and let me know is what my answer is. But never compromise on Consumption spending, okay.

Theory Two:-

Second theory on how to save money and I call this theory as 5 theory. And the explanation for this is “split your earnings in 5” and the five sets should be

For living

To make friends and develop your circle

To learn

Holiday trip

To invest

I will give you an small thought about the 5 sets.

1.Living:-

Allocate a part to your living and day to day expenses like eating, travel expenses etc. If you are a bachelor/spinster try to cook on your own. Avoid eating out as much you can so that you can save a lot of money and you won’t spoil your health.

2.To make friends:-

Friends are must in life and unfortunately am so lucky in that. Try to expand your circle, never say no for an outing with your best friend’s friend, he might be help you in the some situation. How to make friends? I have two rules/hack for it, buy lunch for two friends and do it for the person who is more knowledgeable than you, who helped in your career or in a much needed time. Otherwise never do it. Do it for 5 months and see your friends circle expanding, influence and reputation among your friends.

3.To learn:-

The much needed thing. Never say no to learning, whatever you learn(including out of your domain/course) will help you in a long/short run in life. Be humble, try to listen and learn as much you can. Buy books and start learning, btw never judge a book by its cover, say no to piracy.

4.Holiday trip:-

See saving money is to enjoy life. Be stingy and not selfish. I’m not saying you to visit a foreign country every month and that is not practical too. Go the place near your place, go to new place every month, meet new people, learn their culture write a short blog about your journey and fell fresh every month. Try to stay in your relative’s home to cut hotel/food cost, buy them some fruits and make them happy. Go out explore the World and learn how to save money and never allow money to exploit you.

5.Invest:-

You can invest your money in different ways, as I said before there are some schemes announced by Government, namely NSC(National Savings Certificate) which is available only in post office. Its a good investment in the current date with lock in period of 6 years. Government bonds, the latest gold scheme announced by Central Government. There are many but am not going to explain it in detail, because it will be out of the scope of this article.

Both the theories are inter linked to each other and you have to find the link and save as much as you can. Try any of the theory for at least 5 months and see the results.

Some advice on how to save money:-

Buy things that you badly need. Don’t buy things out of envy. Example:- Do not buy a SUV for a small family of 4 members, don’t buy any luxury things just to show off. But buy things that are necessary and never compromise on the quality of a product. Say no to the thought “what he/she/they will think of me?” Its your life, satisfy yourself, never worry about society. I said you on how to save money but don’t ask how much money I saved there is a tip in this article itself.

Ending up with a famous Tamil song which I used to hear when I feel bad.

Mayakkama Kalakkama Song From Sumaithangi

How about you? Me:Fine and why not good but bad? Why not so active in social media and whatsapp? My friend:I…

Me:Fine and why not good but bad? Why not so active in social media and whatsapp?

My friend:I have no access to that dude.

Me:Why?

My friend:All sites blocked in office.

Me:Everything? what are all the site that have been blocked?

My friend:All social media, job sites and many in the list, in simple man all most everything.

Me:That’s too bad. Social media is ok, many will waste their time but why job sites are blocked man?

My friend:They don’t wan’t anybody to apply for another job.

Me:That’s good. Ok buddy see you soon. Been in touch.

My friend:After hearing this all you wan’t me to be in touch with the world?

Me:lol. See you buddy.

My friend:See you.

After this conversation, I asked many of my friends about blocking sites in their company. I got a 50:50 response from my friends. But why did you block sites? There are two ways that a company should act,

Say to the employee in the induction program that no wifi will be provided and all sites that disturb work is blocked.

Allow partial blocking, i.e fix a data/time limit(not after/before office hours, I can use internet in my home) to every IP for visiting all websites.

Responsibility of every employer and employee:-

Always the employee is the first right? A small advice to every employee. Using social media in office should not be a problem but don’t take an advantage and forget to do your work in office hours. Taking some rest from work is always needed(or follow Japanese model of office work) but do the work within the given time or office hours. You are responsible for your job, you are hired to do that. Work for the money you get as salary or resign asap.

To employer:- I have advised every employee about work ethics in this article I think. Now this paragraph is for you dear employer. Why job sites are blocked in your office? Fear of loosing an employee? If it’s fear then your employees are so worthy, am I right? or fear of labour turnover? Then keep them happy. Your employee knows that, you too have a stomach and a family. Ultimate thing of everyone’s life is money. So if you fire your employee, explain the reason for doing so and the point he is weak in.

The point in blocking a job site is simple, why should an employee apply for another job if you keep him happy in terms of salary and other things?

The reason why no job sites should be blocked:-

To employee, apply too many job as you can so that by reading the job description you can understand the latest trends in job market, new technology that are used and available in your domain. Use that in your organisation to increase the profit and your productivity.

Use internet in home:-

The common question I will get is, why can’t the employee use internet in his home to gain knowledge and apply for another job. An employee is supposed to do his job in office and not apply for job from office in office hours. You are right boss ! I accept it.

Me:Your employee is a human and he is made of flesh, not by metals. Why should an employee apply for another job if he is happy in your office? think in that way. To put in simple, working 8 hours continuously is very hard. No one can do that, if you say you are working 8 hours a day, STOP it, I basically don’t argue with a lier. Office culture and attitude of the employee is important. Don’t ruin the culture and leave your worthy employee.

This article is not for blaming any employee and employer. Deal everyone like adults, both employee and employer have emotions.

]]>The second question that will be asked in an interview is obviously, what is your aim? What is your goal? To add it you would have written in your Resume that you want to become an Astronaut, by the way you would be sitting for an interview in a software company. The HR will give you a reply “We will call you back” that means you moron, you are not selected, and the HR thinks he/she saved the company by not recruiting you. But the real moron is the HR and the company.

I have been seeing many HR, CEO saying we need people who have passion for entrepreneurship. The real fact is those lines are reel. Considering the human turnover that includes recruiting, training they will never absorb you.

There are many software engineers who respond to tickets in a software company, no I didn’t mean Wipro, TCS, CTS etc. The company call them as Engineers, really bad and those companies are called Software Company in general, they should actually be called as Software Service Company or customer Service Company. No one is to blame.

Why that HR is called as moron/Simple she mistook the candidate’s answer. There are many things in a person’s life and remember Aim, goal, hobby, passion and career is different. There are not dependent and they are different. Take the example, your aim might be to become a journalist, your goal would be to start a company, your hobby is composing music, passion is writing and your career? Out of the aim, goal, hobby and passion your career may be different.

So don’t restrict to one thing, try to understand you perfectly, start working on everything and one day your career will a thing which you love. Don’t just be jack of all trade be a master of all trade. That will help in your life one day.

]]>Got a new job? New office? What should you do and not to do. Here is the list of Dos And Don’ts In Office.

1. Be friends with everyone you meet and work, don’t be enemies with anyone and don’t trust anyone so easily.
2. Don’t try to showcase all your skills at once. People may become jealous inside but on the outside they will act like they’re in awe with you.
3.Don’t use personal devices at office for work.
4. Treat service staff at office well but be careful with them as they might ask you for money sometimes.
5. Know what kind of a person your boss is. Maintain a good working relationship with him. You need not agree always but when you disagree do so politely.
6. There are people with different kinds of abilities and levels of capabilities at office. Figure out how you will deal with them.
7. Know company’s rules and regulations and try to follow them.
8. Understand the company’s culture and try to get along with it till the time you are there.
9. Understand clearly what is the scope of your work from your boss and do only that in the beginning and try to excel at that. More opportunities will follow automatically.
10. Find out smart people and be friends with them. See if you can learn from them.

]]>Maggi Maggi and Maggi everywhere. India is talking about Maggi. The lead content in Maggi Noodles has sparked a row in Media. After some days Live larvae is found in Nestle product in Tamil Nadu. Maggi was the life saver in many Indian home. bachelor, spinster and children love it.

The tag line for Maggi was “Just 2 minutes” means you can cook Nestle Maggi in two minutes, but I have never cooked in two minutes, have you?

Maggi Troll:-

Maggi meme is famous still. Here is the best maggi troll ever

Maggi was an integral part of many Indian. But now? Am so sorry Nestle India. But Indian Government should also look into other noodles producers.

Brand Ambassador for Maggi:-

It is not bachelor, spinster and children who miss maggi noodles and facing the problem of cooking. The problem is for brand ambassador for Nestle Maggi. First it was Madhuri Dixit then Amitabh Bachchan and now Preity Zinta, an FIR is filed for being brand ambassador of Maggi. I was like should every brand ambassador check the product that they are endorsing? Then half of their life will end in testing the brand, but their bank balance will raise, uuussshhh ! I should not talk about that because I will be sued.

Imagine what will happen if all celebrities start testing brand that they are endorsing ?

1)If a celebrities is endorsing Lakshman Rekha(Magic Chalk extremely effective against crawling Insects like Cockroaches)- Every brand ambassador should use it in their home and after seeing the result they should endorse it.

How it will be for Toilet cleaner, Inverter and more.

2)Battery-Akshay will have more power than SRK

3)Jewellery-Sathyaraj, Prabhu and Bachchan family will have more gold than Indian Government

4)Bikes-Bhai will have more bikes in his home and in …..

5)Beverages-Ranbir, Dhoni, Kohli will never say yeh dil maange more

6)Pan Masala- Breakfast, Lunch and dinner for Ajay Devagan will be Pan Masala

8)No Alia Bhatt no space for you. Am not going to say anything about you

Whatever Nestle done is a sin. Not alone maggi noodles, there are many products/company in India which makes profit by killing people slowly. Indian Government should take serious action against such companies and remember Kitchen of every Indian Hotel should be checked.

We Love Maggi Noodles-No More!

]]>Suutham Soru Podum means Cleanliness will give/provide you food. Cleanliness is next to God. We all know Tiruchirapalli is the 6th cleanest city in India. Still we are in sixth place, how to keep Trichy clean and make it the number one cleanest city in India? A simple question, will you litter, throw trash, waste and dirt in your home?, can you eat, sleep and live in the same place which you made untidy? The answer will be a big no. Then why do you spit, throw dirt and plastics in road and in public places? That means you don’t love your City/place from heart? Who is responsible for keeping Trichy clean? We and the Trichy City corporation. Before pointing fingers on others, are we trying to keep our Trichy clean? See the below image

The image clearly shows what we are doing and am not pointing all. There are some responsible citizens in my Trichy City who never throw dirt, trash in road and in Public places. I salute them. My strict view, if smoking in public is an offence, then littering should also be made as an offence, at least for a span of 10 years, so it will become a routine part of our people’s daily life after some days they won’t litter.

Why not to litter? What are the after effects of littering? Government has appointed many people to clean and keep our city clean, remember they are also Human Beings. We should respect them for the work that they are doing. They clean what we litter, spit, including chewing gum, cigars, plastics, papers etc. Keeping Trichy clean is not our duty alone. Yes, its Government duty too, corporation don’t have time and enough man power to clean all places in the city. If the place is not in corporation limit, then they wont care and clean it, so it means the area after the corporation limit is not in their control or they won’t care about it? I don’t have an answer for it.

Always use eco-friendly products which are made with leafs or with recyclable materials. When you are in a long journey it is not possible to throw soda or plastic water bottles, papers in a dustbin, instead keep the water/soda in the bottle and when you see a dustbin empty the bottle and throw it in the dustbin and not in the road and have a bag to put the waste in it and later put it in a dustbin. Putting waste inside the dustbin correctly will keep 75% of every city clean. Remember the campaign that was initiated by our Government? Swachh Bharat campaignby our Government is neither hit nor flop because, some people do it and some not, that is some people keep their locality clean and some not.

Why should you keep Trichy Clean?:-

This is the question that would arise in everyone’s mind.The answer for that question with advantages of keeping our city clean is below.

Preserve Historic Monuments in Trichy:-

India is know from its historic monuments, it is our duty to protect and maintain it. Trichy is known for it’s historic places and temples like Rockfort Ganesh temple(Ucchi Pillayar Temple), Srirangam Ranganathaswamy temple, Appakkudathaan Perumal Temple,Brahmapureeswarar Temple, Thirupattur and many more. Spiting tobacco, smoking and writing in walls should be stopped, by doing this you are destroying our culture and heritage.

To Promote Tourism in Trichy:-

Tourism is one of the foreign currency earning industry which increases the economy of the country. There are many small, medium and large scale business peoples who run their life depending on the tourism industry. Keeping our city clean will attract more foreign tourist thus Indian economy will also improve.

Attracting Multinational Companies in Trichy:-

Attracting multinational companies is not solely depend on keeping a city clean. There are various factors that should be made by the Government to attract MNC’s. Keeping Trichy clean will create a good impression among the MNC’s to start a company in our city. More companies then more employment opportunity.

Preserving the Environment:-

Throwingplastic cans, wrappers and plastic materials in park or in other public places will make the place untidy, plastic will not decompose and will lead to degradation of the soil. Plastic will not decompose so soon, see the below picture on how long it can last

For Better Health of People:-

First line of the article says everything. If you keep your area clean, and dispose every waste correctly then there will be no insects and mosquitoes that spread chicken pox, jaundice, malaria and many disease. Keep your area/city clean and stay hygiene. Spitting will lead to pulmonary tuberculosis.

The above said things would have made clear, why should I keep my city clean? Keeping a city clean won’t keep as healthy, but has an impact on economy, creates more space to live if waste are properly disposed. Now I would have made it clear what we should do.

Now what should the Government do to keep Trichy Clean?:-

1)Keep dustbins in all public places like Bus stations, Railway stations, etc, kept it at a proper distance in roads.

2)Proper waste containers should be kept in every area.

3)Cleaning of public places regularly, including places which is not within the corporation limit.

4)Create awareness on importance of cleanliness and should educate people, the after effects of not keeping the city clean (like diseases).

5)Public toilets should be built and they should be maintained regularly.

There is a common term, spot fix. Spot fix means a group of people join together and clean a place in a day. Is it possible to do it? They did it, many volunteers from Trichy recently did a spot fix in various places. Is it worth doing? 50% yes and 50% no. On seeing the spot fix many people will learn how to dispose the waste properly, but there are some people who think, there is a group who come and clean our area if it is untidy, so we can litter and they will take care of the cleaning. In Tamil “pathu passanga varuvanga pa, avanga vanthu clean panuvanga namaku yenna”. You can’t say that these kind of people don’t exist.

So what I did for it was, instead of doing a spot fix, I was about to educate people on the effects of littering, spitting, throwing waste, plastics in road and in public places. I created a Facebook page called Facebook page of Keep Trichy Clean,and started a campaign in Facebook. The page got around 1000 likes in a month without any promotion, but the people who I met(big shots and some persons who can influence people) to do a small story/campaign, said sorry as they did’t get any profit/fame out of it. If you can help me in creating a campaign to keep Trichy clean, you can contact me at sriram.umashankar[at]gmail[dot]com

Spread awareness and share this article with all to keep our city clean.

]]>Indian Government is keen to check bogus voters. The best way to reduce fraudulent voters and duplicate names in electoral list is to link Voter id with Aadhaar card.

In this post I will show easy steps to link Voter id with Aadhaar Card.

How To Link Voter Id With Aadhaar Card:-
